Accepting reality



Recommended Posts

Accepting that the changes are real is a fight at times. Our perceptions are so much in our minds. I had sleeve surgery on 7/26. I'm down 32 pounds since then and 72 over all. I'm deeply grateful and humbled and what is happening to me.20170929_145202.jpg

You look fabulous, and I totally agree with you. Sometimes I look in the mirror and can't believe the changes I'm going through - is this real? Have I really gone down 3 dress sizes? Did I really walk that far without getting out of breath? I too feel so grateful and love the changes that are happening to me and what's to come.

Wow. I was sleeved a week before you and have only lost like 18 lbs since surgery. You look great! Finally only now my yoga pants are getting too big. I need to be happy with my steady and very slow loss but your pics are makin me jealous!

I too am thrilled that I'm getting smaller though. I love my sleeve.

You are doing great! And you are so right about how much of this is a mindset thing. I never would have imagined being satisfied and happy with so little food on my plate, but I just feel so good. I have a long way to go, but I know we can do this!

We are all so different...I wish we were more similar so we know what to expect. Keep hanging in there. It is all so worth it!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
